“Last Breath”

8.5

Woody Harrelson is in it, so I knew it’d be good, but DAMN… this one was AMAZING! Even better when you find out that it’s based on a true story (the in-credit scenes are incredible). A harrowing tale of the worst case scenario come true in one of the “holy shit, there’s people who do this for a living?!” professions. Strap in, and go along for the edge of your seat ride for the entire runtime.

Action Blockbuster

“Captain America: Brave New World”

6.8

I was excited to see the under 2 hour runtime… until I discovered it’s because they only half finished telling any potential story here. What could have been an incredibly interesting story with great action became a watered down amalgamation of “meh.” It’s ok… but that’s become the MCU now… Mediocrity at its finest.

Drama Romance

“Far and Away”

8.1

Once you get past Tom Cruise’s goofy ass Irish accent, this actually develops into a really good love story. The chemistry between Cruise and Kidman is palpable as they navigate this “Romeo & Juliet” like tale of forbidden love, danger, and adventure in the wild west. Cheesy? Oh hell yeah… but it’s also incredibly fun and has a lot of heart. Greg from “Dharma & Greg” never stood a chance…

“Dinner in America”

7.4

Best described as a fever dream after watching, as I struggle to fully describe what it is I watched. IT was fun, and definitely punk rock. Normal dinnertime conversation around the table in America, right?

Horror/Thriller

“The Monkey”

7.8

Definite Stephen King and definitely more brutal than I expected. I didn’t expect quite so much blood… A really good psychological thriller from the master, with a great cast all turning in noteworthy performances. Solid kickstart to horror season for 2025.
